<The Story and Characters of Nanta>
Nanta brings to life the unexpected happenings in a kitchen with humor and high energy.
With a cast of five colorful characters, each bursting with personality, the show keeps the audience engaged from start to finish.
MANAGER
Dressed in a tuxedo with a slicked-back pomade hairstyle, the manager is the strict hotel supervisor. He oversees everything from the chefs’ teamwork, cooking process, and cleaning — all in preparation for the 6 PM wedding party!
HEAD CHEF
A quiet and dependable leader of the kitchen.Though he sometimes gets frustrated with the younger chefs who slack off or goof around, he’s a fair and human-centered head chef in charge of dazzling knife skills and kitchen control.
SPICY
She holds a balanced role in the kitchen, often acting like the voice of reason —
but her playful side and quirky energy also shine through. As the only female chef in the team, she brings a refreshing burst of charm and spirited performance to the stage.
TOUGH GUY
With his rugged looks and powerful moves —whether it’s knife tricks or kung fu kicks— he brings explosive energy to the kitchen. He may seem like the ultimate tough guy(?) at first, but his cute and soft-hearted moments reveal a surprising charm. His sweet-and-sour personality even wins over Spicy’s heart!
NEPHEW
The unpredictable troublemaker of the kitchen! Thrown into the chaos thanks to his uncle, the Manager, he joins the team as a complete beginner— but soon reveals surprising talents hidden behind his clumsy, goofy charm.
